Ken and Will Sommer break down why right-wing figures like RFK Jr, Patel, and Bongino fail in power. @willsommer.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/Om92r... Follow The Ken Harbaugh Show here: linktr.ee/thekenharbau...

Wisconsin: "An overflow crowd Wednesday night praised commissioners for taking a stance against Trump Administration demands... "Commissioners echoed the defiance of the public saying they will do all legally possible to protect the privacy of employees and residents." www.wemu.org/wemu-news/20...

JUST A FACT…👇

12 GOPers tell Magic Mike they won't sign onto Medicaid cuts. crooksandliars.com/2025/04/12-g...?

"Unusual Machines said: “We have no reason to believe that Don Jr. breached his non-disclosure agreement...” "Dominari did not respond to a request for comment on whether it imposed any such conditions on Trump Jr or Eric Trump..." www.ft.com/content/1d9e...

Fuckers.

when he sends citizens to foreign concentration camps, it’s no longer a slide to authoritarianism—it’s full blown fascism! 😔 this is not an administration, it’s a criminal regime in a hostile takeover of 🇺🇸 democracy. #FightFascism #TraitorTrump #DefendLiberty 🔔

I don't know who still needs to hear this, but Trumpolini is a traitor to the republic and a known Russian asset. He should not be trusted.

Its definitely pretty good advice.....

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This is our 15th lawsuit since Trump got back into office. We sued the Trump administration saying that he does not have the unilateral authority to impose these tariffs. And we think we're on very, very firm ground." [email protected]

NEW: Though many Americans worry about a national constitutional crisis, we mustn't overlook the importance of protecting the integrity of our state constitutions. Marcus Gadson examines how the contested NC Supreme Court judicial election could spiral into a full-blown state constitutional crisis.

So Abrego Garcia's entire criminal history is that he was arrested (not convicted) for "loitering"-- a silly crime for which the local law provides a maximum penalty (upon conviction) as: "a written warning requesting an individual to move." Why was he arrested? Or sent to ICE in the first place?

THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO PUT IT.

BREAKING: An American citizen has been kidnapped by ICE and is being illegally held in Florida. This is terrifying.

NEWS: The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals has resoundingly rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to block an order requiring it to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

So the “women in space” sending the message that young girls belong in STEM was……bullshit ?

I have been a disability advocate for over 20 years. I am appalled at a high-ranking government official so blatantly saying that if you are disabled, your life is worthless. People with autism work, love, and lead fully functioning, happy lives. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPxT...

🤣🤣

The President of the United States is utterly out of control and possibly out of his mind, and only the Supreme Court of the United States can deliver the absolutely vicious permanent slapdown this moment requires. If that does not happen, the options for Americans appear to dwindle precipitously.

During the 2024 campaign, Trump and his MAGA allies did not hide their intentions towards immigrants like Kilmar Abrego Garcia. But media, pollsters, and consultants did—minimizing or outright ignoring Trump's explicit threats in an effort to avoid accusations of bias, partisanship, or alarmism.

FYI

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

In my Queens district, more than 100,000 retirees, 3,500 children, & 7,600 disabled workers rely on Social Security benefits every day. We cannot leave them behind. I will always fight to protect & expand Social Security for all Americans.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "It's a complete betrayal. I mean, the focus more on Greenland than the cost of groceries. Of course, if you listen to Trump, he discovered the word groceries. He keeps literally acting like he's rediscovered a word. That's how out of touch he is." [email protected]

Best news this week: My client picked up in a New Hampshire ICE raid last month will finally be going home on an order of minimum bond. This is our third successful bond case of the week. Good things are still happening!

Powell: The level of tariff increases announced so far is significantly larger than anticipated, and the same is likely to be true of the economic effects which will include higher inflation and slower growth.

Somebody needs to put someone in actual jail and hold this regime accountable! I say cut off the head of this snake and start with tRump! #Boasberg www.cnn.com/2025/04/16/p...

Judge Boasberg has found probable cause that the defendants in J.G.G. are in contempt of court for defying his TROs to temporarily stop the AEA Proclamation kidnappings. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A Trump ally has told CNN’s parent company that they could avoid future lawsuits from the Trump administration if they make a documentary about Melania Trump or a TV show about Donald Trump Jr., which would involve paying the Trump family large amounts of money.

This is how you do it. The "Mutual Academic Defense Compact". The moral imperative may be to fight... but the strategic imperative is to not fight alone: www.gazettenet.com/UMass-Amhers...

Crockett: This is coming from someone who clearly reads on a first grade level. So I don't know why she's trying to clown Sarah, who obviously is a constituent of hers

This is outrageous. Republicans are blocking every single Democratic amendment that would make the voucher bill even slightly less devastating for our public schools. This is straight out of Project 2025 — an authoritarian takeover of our state is happening before our eyes. #txlege
